Accidentally unplugged a pressurized air hose on radiator?
So I was replacing bolts in the engine bay yesterday with the z-spec dress up kit and I accidentally unbolted a pressurized hose coming out from the radiator to the engine (see pic below). I was able to bolt the sucker back on but it slowly leaked pressurized air (or gas?) out until it slowed down and stopped. Anyone know what I did and if I mucked something up with the ac system?
I'm not a expert with the workings of radiator/ac system. The car drove fine this morning with no CEL but I was testing the ac system on the way to work and it seems like the ac doesn't really blow cold air anymore? Not sure if I let out some gas coolant to chill the air on the ac system. |

Pretty sure that is an ac line and you will need a recharge.

I would also check to see if you blew any seal/o-ring/gasket when you released the pressurized system through that point without purging it first.

That is the line coming from the ac condenser to the compressor. You let the refrigerant out of the system. Do not run the air conditioner until you get it checked out and recharged.
